At first when I read your post, I was expecting the article to have been written by complete morons.
Then I read the article, and it wasn't even half bad. In fact, it was pretty good. I especially liked their completely logical and simple conclusion of:
<font color=blue>
Improving memory bandwidth and reducing memory latency on 850e motherboards help only those applications that need lots of memory bandwidth--no real surprise. So if you're the average office worker, don't expect your IT guy to rush out and buy you a system equipped with PC1066 RDRAM. On the other hand, if you're a hardcore gamer, and have been contemplating a move to an 850e-based system, it just might be worth your while.

They also state the obvious in a simple manner with:

Of course, over time, PC1066 will drop in price.

In fact my only real beef with the article are the completely bad prices listed for RAM. For example they list a 256MB PC800 RIMM as $130. (Actually, they technically listed a pair of them for $260.) I don't know where the hell they buy their memory from, but since the article is only one day old and Pricewatch.com lists a 256MB Samsung PC800 RIMM at $93 today, it makes me suspect the author's ability to actually price RAM. I seriously doubt that RAM prices dropped $37 in a single day.
Now let's look at your statement of:
<font color=red>
this memory is expensive, nearly 60% costly than the pc800.
</font color=red>Really? 60%? According to Pricewatch.com, a Samsung 256MB PC1066 RIMM is a mere $119. All considered, that isn't bad at all. In fact, my math it as being only being <b>28%</b> more expensive than the RIMM price I listed previously. This is far below your super-inflated 60%.
And I won't even begin touching the extremely questionable validity of your statement that:
<font color=red>
the DDR333 has nearly the same performances
</font color=red>
So my only conclusion left is that you are the weakest link, not the article.
If you don't <i>want</i> PC1066 RAM, then don't buy it. If it isn't worth it to you, then that's fine, for you. However, I have to completely and totally disagree with every single opinion/comment that you've made.
Further, I suggest that you try researching the issue a lot more because your supposed data is just plain wrong. PC1066 isn't 60% more expensive, and single-channel (what most DDR motherboards use) DDR333 offers no where near the same bandwidth as dual-channel (what most RDRAM motherboards use) PC1066. (Whether or not the processor and/or the applications effectively use that bandwidth is a completely different subject that has absolutely nothing to do with RAM comparisons.)
On top of that, this thread belongs in the memory section, <i>not</i> the CPU section.
Tech support said take a screen shot.
Putting it down with my .22 was the humane thing to do.
